Infected Scab? **Graphic Image (Kind of)**

Should I be worried about this? I had an itch on my leg the other day and thought nothing of scratching it. Seems now that it has scabbed and the redness seems to be spreading down my ankle. It is hot to the touch as well.

Looks like it is infected now.

Probably need some antibiotics.I would let a nurse or doctor look at it.

Good luck
